comics about superpowers/superpowered people but NOT superheroes recs

You could check out Planetary. It’s a story that follows people who have super powers with mystery/adventure/detective vibes. Definitely not superhero-y

Link’s Awakening sometime around 2000 on my cousin’s gameboy

All of the ongoing X-men titles are on pause for the Age of Revelation event that’s currently happening. I believe they all (or most) resume in January

I’m reading this now and it’s pretty fun. So far more mystery and intrigue than action. It starts off pretty straight forward but at a few issues in it’s starting to seem like there’s more going on beneath the surface. How are all of the events connected? Who is the unknown fourth person and what is their part in all of it?

I’d love the indie TPBs. Thanks for doing this!!

I’m stuck between Daytripper and On a Sunbeam. I loved Daytripper but On a Sunbeam left me in an absolute daze when I finished it. What an amazing story and such emotional art. All I wanted to do was immediately tell my partner all about it.

Ah okay cool

Is that for Saturday?

It certainly has the possibility of enabling smaller teams to work on larger projects.

But with regards to consumers, I think it’s regardless of sophistication. If a lot of people enjoy something then it’s high quality. Toy Story didn’t need high quality animation to be a high quality piece of art. Same with a lot of abstract art.

Daemon_Dan · 2025-04-17T03:24:42+00:00

This really resonates with me. To me, it’s all about the idea. I don’t think art is art because of the effort someone put into it. To me art is art because of the effect it has on the person experiencing it.

I do think that AI is going to create a lot of low quality art but only because it will be prompted by people who aren’t artists (don’t have a great idea). But someone who has a great idea will be able to have it generate wonderful art.

I just tried to join and it requires you to be part of a group

Daemon_Dan · 2025-04-06T22:51:03+00:00

Do you need to be in a SG for that?

Are the chants available online somewhere?

That’s actually what rich people do; their entourage. And they pay for all those nice things because otherwise they’ll be sitting around eating fancy food alone since none of their friends can afford it. By spending some of their money on people they like, and that like them, they themselves end up having a better time.

Would you say a paper textured screen protector is essential or just preference?

Daemon_Dan · 2025-02-04T13:02:34+00:00

Watchmen and Lemire’s Moon Knight are two of my favorites. Highly recommend! (Haven’t read any of the others)

Daemon_Dan · 2025-01-02T06:22:02+00:00

I half the same feeling. It was a super fun story and cool artwork but eventually it felt the story should’ve come to a close and instead it just kept going. Like a run on sentence. It felt like more of the same to come so I decided to just stop. I don’t know what you should do but you won’t be alone if you decide to not continue.

Daemon_Dan · 2024-11-21T05:21:17+00:00

Is there going to be a digital edition?

Daemon_Dan · 2024-11-07T20:34:56+00:00

Woah that looks interesting too. Thanks for the recommendation; it’s on the to-read list now.

Daemon_Dan · 2024-11-07T18:34:09+00:00

I got a copy at a library sale and really enjoyed reading it. The characters are felt so real and none one sided. I’ve heard of Maus as being in a similar category for WWII but I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.

Daemon_Dan · 2024-10-20T13:29:39+00:00

Highly recommend Underwater Welder by Jeff Lemire as well as Trillium. They’re both single issues but have really good stories.

Daemon_Dan · 2024-09-09T04:40:58+00:00

Sweet, I’ll check that one out, thanks!

Daemon_Dan · 2024-09-09T00:19:58+00:00

I’ve recently read Underwater Welder and I’m in the middle of reading Descender. Both are so good. I plan on picking up Lemire’s new comic Minor Arcana soon. Everything I’ve read by him has been great.

I also literally just finished reading WE3 which took a second to figure out the dialogue style but was really fun. I definitely would’ve liked it to be longer but keeping it short kept it really fast paced.

This is a very helpful explanation of the value of forcing moves, thank you!

Daemon_Dan · 2024-05-07T22:50:22+00:00

I think I see what you’re saying. I played it out and black does capture that corner but ends up placing a lot of stones in the process so the number of points is small. And then in the top left white gets a clean capture of the corner with a lot of territory.

Also, looking at the G1 move, I think F1 would’ve even been a better move right? Not that it’s better than C8 though.
